Photo: California wildfires burning people and horses out of their homes

Jimmy Romo leads horses to safety as a wildfire burns in Azusa, Calif., on Monday. New wildfires erupted near Los Angeles and chased people from suburban homes as an intense heatwave stretching from the West Coast to New Mexico blistered the region. Ringo H.W. Chiu/AP. (Click to Enlarge).

Thoughts and prayers for all those caught up with this terrible fire.
Very frightening for the horses when fire is threatening their lives and they want to flee….. Despite the sad circumstances in this pic, it’s lovely to see the Shetland just staying by its mate’s side, no leading. Reminds me of a Shetland i once had, she just followed her ex-thoroughbred racehorse mate everywhere, inseparable.
